Okay, we will have to be careful here, we don't want to incriminate ourselves! So we all carry them with all sorts of paraphenalia in them..here is my list(I think I can remember!)

Guitar leads..loads of them but do they all work! XLR leads for DI to PA 9 volt batteries folding guitar stand residual current breaker - never plug into anything without protection if you see what I mean! 4 gang power extension 2 gang power extension Zoom B1u unit for tuning and some effects-very seldom used live Deodorant Towel Mini tool kit fuses Spare strings Notebook & pens Music file just in case you forgot the chords Patch leads Music stand

This is an excellent idea for a thread. I can't remember what all is in my bag; but it is heavy. My guitar stands are in a separate bag with the midi pedal board. The DI box is in the back of the rack. Tuner and effects are in the rack. Tool bag with everything an Alembic bass requres; flashlight; power cable; power strip; 5-pin cable and spare; speaker cables and spares; spare instrument cable; duct tape; electrical tape; there may be some masking tape; spare set of new strings (actually I think I'm behind on this); spare set of used strings; strap; spare strap; set list; wipe down rag; digital multimeter; I think there is an XLR cable in there; there should be some spare patch cables for the rack; pencil/pen. That's all I can remember at the moment.

Peter, The Snake is more to keep cables from tangling around the performers, with the stage box situated in front of the drummer, the mixer goes on the far left of the stage, leaving only 1 large cable between the mixer and all of those mic and keyboard connections. It makes setups much quicker and more organized. Since the mixer is digital, the key channels are routed via midi to my main controller, so once everything is set, there's no need to run back to the board.

I put a lot in my pedalboard as well as far as cables and other supplies. Usually in my bag, I just put some cables, a SansAmp, strap, 9V, deoderant (as well), change of shirt for the poor saps who want to hug me after a show.

Bag 1: finger cymbals, a flexatone, a triangle, 2 towels, 3 elastic wristbands (one is a Dead stealie logo), 2 or 3 shirts (1 for each set), an umbrella, a 20 ft square clear plastic tarp, mini stereo to mini stereo cable (so I can listen to my recording of the show on the way home), headphones and a portable cd player, and a jaunty little leather biker cap

I've got one of those Levy's leather bags. It holds the bass, of course, and in the small top pocket, there's the allen and truss rod wrenches, 2 12AX7's, a small screwdriver, multitool, bottle of pachouli in a girl's sock, and my red, white and blue sweatband.
